阿尔巴尼亚国家大剧院

由BIG设计的领结状阿尔巴尼亚国家大剧院是一栋具有多功能性的文化建筑，它将与日益高涨的文化演艺活动一起服务于当代城市。阿尔巴尼亚国家大剧院占地面积9300平方米，是一栋现代性十足的建筑综合体，它将以其市中心的优越地位，承载本土及来自世界的表演团队们。坐落于地拉那的文化及行政中心腹地，毗邻当地标志性的斯坎德培广场、民族剧院和国家艺术馆，该全新的文化中心将代替原有剧院，并重新融入三个室内演出场地，一个屋顶剧院，以及位于建筑下方的公共活动空间。

The bow tie-shaped National Theatre of Albania designed by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group and Theatre Projects is a 3-in-1 cultural venue tailored to Tirana’s thriving theatre and performance art scene. The National Theatre of Albania is a 9,300 m2 contemporary venue designed to host local and touring theatre companies in the nation’s capital. Located in the cultural and administrative heart of downtown Tirana, adjacent to the iconic Skanderbeg Square, the National Opera and the National Art Gallery, the cultural space will replace the existing theatre and add three new indoor performance spaces, a rooftop amphitheater as well as a covered public space underneath the building.

坐落于城市以步行交通为主的文化景观轴线上，由BIG设计的阿尔巴尼亚国家大剧院建筑旨在重塑和强化地拉那的城市公共生活。如棱镜般的建筑形态于中心处压缩和提升，归还给街道一个良好的连通性。来访者和剧院爱好者们可以从各个方位走进剧院建筑之中，又或者干脆留在剧场之外，感受即兴演出的魅力和以建筑为中心的整体文化氛围。

Located prominently on the cultural axis and in a mostly pedestrian zone, BIG’s design for the National Theatre of Albania seeks to reclaim and reinforce the city’s goal for more urban gathering places in Tirana. The prism shaped volume is compressed and lifted in the center, creating connections and public plazas on both sides of the theatre at street level. Visitors and theatre enthusiasts can enter the building from either side or simply stay under the arch of the building to enjoy impromptu performances and other cultural events.

走入建筑最先映入眼帘的是票务中心，两个平铺的巨大楼梯将来访者迎入剧场大厅。从这里，来访者将可以直接进入主礼堂或另一个小型表演场地。剧场的空间布局也暗示了这一领结状的建筑体量：主礼堂位于建筑中心，建筑主立面朝南，其南北两侧分设公共活动区域并将主礼堂围裹在内。建筑两侧立面均向户外展示了其内部演出活动，它如同一本活灵活现的城市绘本，生动的描绘了城市生活的美丽之处。

Once inside the building, visitors will have access to immediate ticketing which is flanked by two grand stairs that lead up to the theatre foyer. From there, guests may continue up to the main auditorium or into the smaller black box performance spaces. The program organization of the venues informs the bow tie-shaped volume on the outside: the main auditorium is located in the middle, sandwiched by the front-of-house activities facing south, and all of the back-of-house activities and services to the north. The facades on each side of the building reveal the interior program to passersby outside, creating a storybook for the public and allowing the theatre operation to act as a stage in its own right.

屋顶剧院和咖啡屋也是对公众免费开放的场所。倾斜的屋顶让位于该处的露天剧场宛如古罗马时期的剧场一般，又借由城市风貌为剧场背景，该处为观众带来了意想不到的视听体验。开放式剧场，内场剧院，屋顶空间，以及与户外对视的传统剧场令阿尔巴尼亚国家大剧院与众不同，它既是地拉那的公共展演场地，又是活跃在城市风景中的表演者。

A rooftop venue and cafe are accessible to the public as well. The sloping of the roof creates an amphitheater-like space that is framed by a dramatic backdrop of the city itself. With open venues, one sheltered and one with a rooftop view,—and traditionally hidden theatre spaces being revealed out towards the city—the New National Theatre of Albania will be both stage and actor in the city of Tirana.
